Do atheists like Atheist Roo have anything useful to offer the Atheist community?

Do atheists like Atheist Roo have anything useful to offer the Atheist community?
So... by now... you probably know of shit like this:

[Image: CXcSkJiUMAATX8a.png:large]


He is incredibly dogmatic. He blocks people for disagreeing with him. How can we take anything he says seriously if he responds to criticism by blocking people? How should we respond to people like this? Should we give them attention? Or should we avoid them at all costs?

These atheists are making atheists as a whole look like we have nothing intelligent to say about religion or anything really.

What are your thoughts on this?
If pinkie pie isn't real, then how do you explain the existence of ponies, huh? If ponies are real, then that's proof that Pinkie Pie is real. Checkmate, christians!  Heart

Are you dumb, or just lacking the brain capacity to detect sarcasm/satire?
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

And that's another problem I've noticed. A decent amount of his fans are overly hostile to anybody who criticizes him... much like what you've just demonstrated right now.

And blocking folks who disagree with him is just one problem I have with him. Remember him doxxing Creationist Cat? Does that just fly by your head?

The fact that there are people who support him scare me. So, as far as I'm concerned... no... he isn't being sarcastic. So... call me dumb, but just shows your lack of ability to back yourself up.

Okay... maybe he was being sarcastic:

But you see... even if he was... that still doesn't change the fact that he doxxes people too. What kind of person responds to criticism by doxxing people?

What? My lack of ability to back myself up?

No, it's clearly satire, and no one can control if a person takes sarcasm/satire literally and agrees with it.

Remember him....what?

Why are you assuming everyone is some fan of this guy, i've clicked a few of his videos, I have absolutely no idea what you're referring to.


Edit: By the way, I don't know anything about this "Doxxing" you speak of, frankly I was simply responding to what you originally posted, which was clearly sarcasm on his part. I do not in any way support doxxing, but that's not was originally being discussed.

You didn't know he doxxed Creationist Cat? Huh. Well... if you're interested, here's some more information on the matter...

I must be old, because I don't know who this person is, nor why I should give a shit about anything they do. I don't 'get' the YouTube celebrity thing, and see no reason to seek out people/channels that merely confirm my bias.

Moreover, someone banning someone else from their channel is just... not worth any drama. Don't like what they do? Create your own channel/forum/blog/whatever.

Don't even know who that is. This OP however kinda makes you look like a petulant dolt.
